The Jetpack is designed to be an open gaming system, allowing users to customise its specs depending on their needs.

It supports high-end components such as overclocked Intel Core i7 processors, the latest graphics cards from Nvidia, including the Titan and GTX780, and up to 1TB of SSD storage.

Users can also wall-mount the machine, and run other operating systems such as Windows and Linux.

"Jetpack is designed for gamers that do not want to compromise on performance nor interior design," said Francois-Xavier Gardes, Piixl's managing director.

"Whether wall-mounted or on a table, its presence stays smart and minimalistic while providing leading edge-performance and tweak potential virtually on par with a full-tower. If the future of gaming is open, so should be the hardware platform it is being played on."

The PiixL Jetpack will be released on January 1 with a price tag of around $1,000 (£612).
